History of the Race The GNCTR began in 1974, as a
joint venture between the American Concrete Institute and the
University of Alberta. Since its
initiation, the GNCTR has challenged its participants to use
creativity, skill, and innovation in the design and construction of a
concrete toboggan. The 32nd annual
Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race will be
held in the first week of February 2006 in Montreal. It is being
hosted jointly by Concordia University, Université de
Sherbrooke, and École de technologie superiéure.
Objectives
Concrete toboggans are evaluated

innovative, and original.
